Israel believes US embassy move to Jerusalem ‘extremely likely’ — report

The Israeli government reportedly believes US President Donald Trump will declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel and move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv in the coming days.

“In Jerusalem, there is a very high expectation” that Trump will declare that he “formally recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and instructing his team to actively prepare to move the embassy,” the news report says.

The Hadashot news report comes a day after US Vice President Mike Pence said Trump was “actively considering” moving the US embassy.
